The weeks before the estimated delivery date should be spent on baby-proofing your home. While it's not completely necessary to accomplish this before delivery, doing so will ensure you have it done. After your baby arrives, you will be busy, under stress and slowly losing your sanity (which, as a mum in my experience you never regain!) in exchange for a rewarding lifetime relationship with your child..
Drama is one of those rewarding endeavors that will teach children as much about themselves as it will about others and their environment. Children learn through drama on their own. Play-acting comes naturally to little people. They love to pretend!
The teenage years are filled with many expectations and limitations. We expect them to behave with a minimum of maturity yet we must limit their privileges until we are sure they are mature enough to handle them. It can seem like a Catch-22 at times. So, we give them small bits of freedom and allow them to make a few mistakes so that they can begin to learn how to make responsible decisions and avoid larger consequences later. Here are some suggestions for setting appropriate consequences for your teen.
